Subj : Shingrex was: weather was: food option To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Sat Jan 04 2020 22:45:32 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Daryl Stout on 28-Dec-2019 08:08 <=- DS>> Doctor: "What's wrong?". DS>> Patient: "I've got the shingles". DS>> Doctor: "How long have you had them?". DS>> Patient: "This morning". DS>> Doctor: "I don't see them on you". DS>> Patient: "They're out in the truck for the new roof. Where do you DS>> want them??" BM> Reminds me: I think I'll have a refill due so should ask where I BM> am on the Shingrex list -- nationwide backlog. Would prefer to not be BM> wearing a thick sweater and shirt and try to roll up the sleeve! Our store now has the Shingrex available on a regular basis.... I asked someone at the pharmacy when I would hear about it, since I was on the waiting list.... I was told they scrapped the list, and just are servicing people as they show up and ask about it now... they get in new supplies every couple of weeks... and how much they get depends on how much they use, or something like that... So far, I still haven't taken the time to get mu\y shot... we've been on more of a tight schedule or not wanting to take extra time anyway, each time we've been there at the store... ;) DS>> Seriously, if one has had chicken pox (as I have), they have DS>> the shingles virus inside them (I've had the shot for it)...and DS>> it's both disfiguring and painful. BM> I've definitely had Chicken Pox and the original vaccine. LIS in an BM> earlier paragraph just waiting until my turn comes up for the new-and- BM> improved vaccine as I don't want a Shingles episode. I've only had the chicken pox... years ago when I was in first grade... and there's a slight possibility that I've had a minor episode of the shingles in the past, as I seem to have what often is a leftover side effect of it.... So I do intend at some point to get the improved vaccine just in case.... BM>> And here I thought it was just my laziness! ...When the house is BM>> reshingled will probably have the shed done too: it's roof was done the BM>> same time as the house. (Is an ~8x10' outbuilding for the yard tools BM>> and a bit of storage.) I could do it but why? The roofers have the BM>> equipment and know-how. Probably would take me as long to shingle the BM>> shed as it would for them to do all the house - I don't have the BM>> experience. DS>> But, you apparently have the money for it...yet, we are lazy DS>> when it comes to paying high bills that we think are ridiculous. BM> Some are a necessity: car, house.... Can't think of another general BM> catagory right now. Health care....? ttyl neb ....
